Our "Little Trooper"

Grace's surgery went very well on Tuesday and she keeps improving every hour. The surgery was 6 hours long and she was in immediate care for a couple days but was moved to a semi-private room on the 8th floor (the penthouse) today. I say semi-private because the nurses station is part of our room, but it doesn't seem to bother her, she is snoring away. She can't have anything in her mouth for at least another week so she has restraints on her arms. This morning she had milk and we literally had to throw it in her mouth with a spoon. :) This could get interesting as she starts eating more. Overall she is doing great and charming everyone with her big blue eyes.
Not sure when we get to go home...we're hoping by Sunday. We'll keep you posted and I have lots of pictures from last week to post while we are here.

Oh thank goodness, I was JUST thinking about her at lunch, so I checked here. Glad she's okay and I hope your aim with the spoon is good, things could get messy. :) Please let us know if you need help with anything, and give her sweet little head a rub for me.
